This was Alexa's first Independence Day so we took her to her first fireworks show on Saturday night. Keeping her up past her bedtime of 7:00 wasn't very easy. We let her take a late nap, but you could tell she was wondering what she was doing still awake. She seemed to handle the fireworks okay though. She got a little fussy...but I think that had more to do with being tired than being scared. We went with our friends, Ben and Waveney Taylor and their kids Rhys and Sydney. Then, yesterday, on the 4th we had dinner with our friends, Kirk and Amanda Graves. I made my 4th of July cake that has become a tradition in our family. Alexa looked adorable in her red, white and blue outfit and we thought the "I'm Independent" on her shirt suited her quite nicely!! She's a sweet little girl...but is really starting to show her personality. Happy Independence Day!
We really are blessed...Alexa is a happy baby and such a joy to have in our lives. We love her so much and are so grateful for the sweetness she brings into our home and family.
After a couple requests, we decided to let ya'll see what we see when we look out our windows. A little taste of Kentucky. We love the summers because everything is so green and pretty. It may look like we live in a forest, but we're actually only 5 minutes from downtown.
Alexa has the most beautiful blue eyes. She also loves her binky and often puts it back in her mouth upside down. It's pretty cute to see her bottom lip sticking out!
